Monument Square District is inviting all downtown businesses to bring some extra holiday cheer with this year’s "Winter Wonderland" Window Decorating Contest. Set to transform the heart of downtown into a festive wonderland, the contest aims to attract holiday shoppers and visitors with beautifully decorated storefronts.

How to Enter: All businesses and merchants in the downtown area are automatically entered, so every business is encouraged to join in the fun and decorate their windows by the night of the annual parade on November 29th. To boost the holiday spirit, windows are encouraged to feature nighttime lighting, adding a magical glow to the streets after dark.

Judging Criteria and Prizes: Judges will assess the window displays from November 29th to December 1st, looking for creativity, curb appeal, attention to detail, and how well they incorporate the "Winter Wonderland" theme. The top three winners will each receive a monetary donation to a charity of their choice, along with a certificate and the opportunity to be highlighted on Monument Square District's social media platforms.

Winners will be announced on December 4th.
​
This contest promises to make the downtown shopping experience even more special for the community and visitors alike. Monument Square District hopes everyone will come downtown to enjoy the holiday displays and support local businesses.

The ​Monument Square District would like to thank all of the merchants/business and voters that helped to make the Flannel & Fall Window Contest a success as a new event. After 328 votes, we would like to congratulate the winner, Downtown Divas!
